The same organisations who come to court having served a mess of piecemeal disclosure because “the IT systems are antiquated” and then say “there aren’t adequate resources” to meet our vulnerable clients’ needs.

Victoria Derbyshire listing all the reasons young people hate the Tories is glorious #newsnight
A privilege and a heartache to support Amina’s family. The state is drastically failing the most vulnerable, young, traumatised women.
We welcome the Coroner’s intention to repeat his call on @DHSCgovuk and @NHSEngland to take action.

“The people who work in the [legal aid] sector at the moment will place their own wellbeing to one side because of their personal commitment to the clients who need help.
The number of lawyers willing to do that are reducing weekly.”
